Project management of the C/sells research project, Germany
The C/sells research project is a demonstration project for developing scalable model solutions for the energy transition. It involved developing a cellular energy system with high proportions of renewable energies for a climate-friendly, efficient and secure energy supply and demonstrating it on a large scale in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Hesse. The goal was to regionally optimize the generation and consumption of solar and other energy sources by means of a sustainable energy infrastructure which is divided into cells. More than 50 partners and a large number and variety of prosumers in southern Germany tested this future energy system, resulting in more than 50 smart grid model solutions capable of being deployed on a mass scale.
Fichtner IT Consulting handled the overall coordination of the project, oversaw the more than 50 consortium partners and represented the consortium in its dealings with the federal ministry, the project executing agency and the ministries in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Hesse.
